1 Disaster Preparedness Plan for Community Action Commission of Santa Barbara County EMERGENCY PRIORITIES According to Santa Barbara County Emergency Services the priorities for disasters we need to be prepared for are: 1. Fire 2. Earthquake 3. Flood 4. Tsunami 5. Terrorists attack. 6. Other. EMERGENCY CATEGORIES 1) A localized emergency that staff can handle with internal policies. Examples are slip, trips and falls, broken water pipe, minor auto accident, etc. 2) A moderate to severe emergency, which may require assistance from the fire department, police etc. Examples are fire, severe earthquake with injuries, hazardous spills, etc. 3) A major disaster where large amounts of mutual aid and assistance will be required, recovery time will be extensive and response will involve full local emergency authorities with possible delays. Examples are tremendous earthquake, tsunami, large terrorist attack, flash flood, conflagration of the city, etc. PRIORITY OF ACTION Every disaster has a beginning and an end with several stages in between. The priority of action details what actions need to take place as the disaster proceeds. 1) Warning or notification. When an event is expected there may be no time to warn people (e.g. earthquake), only a few seconds or minutes to warn people (e.g. tsunami, flash flood), or lots of time to warn people (e.g. wild fire, flood. etc). In all cases the widest and quickest notification of the problem and actions to take need to take place as soon as possible. Since all warning systems have built-in err on the side of safety provisions a certain number of 7/1/ / 13
2 warnings will be false alarms. Our policy is to use these false alarms as practice rehearsals for the real event. 2) Securing people from harm or further harm. Moving people away from the source of danger to prevent injury or further injury. Shutting off gas, electric and water utilities. Moving out of dangerous buildings or situations, etc. Each facility practices the shut-off procedures and evacuation procedures monthly. 3) First aid to injured. Applying first aid to any injured person and comfort to the fearful and calling for additional assistance as needed as well as transporting injured to doctor or hospital. 4) Waiting out the disaster until people can go home or another safer place. This can often be the longest part of the disaster. In our locations there are sources of entertainment, cards, games, toys, etc. 5) Survey and analysis. Reviewing the actions taken in the face of the disaster and taking a critical position as to what went well and what went wrong. It also includes an assessment of the damage and surveying for additional dangers within structures or situations, recording the disaster using photo or electronic means. This phase includes an analysis of how effective the response to the disaster was and what systems, policies or procedures need to be instituted to ensure the response to the next disaster is more effective. 6) Redesign and rebuild. As the recovery process proceeds, the lessons learned from the survey and analysis phase are put into the plans for the rebuild. The purpose is to mitigate the damage and injury that might occur when the disaster event occurs again. NOTIFICATION PROCESS Being prepared means being informed. CAC provides technology to keep people informed about a threat through the following means: A. Small, multi-power source AM/FM radios at each center B. Work hours monitoring of emergency radio frequencies using an emergency alert radio located at the central office. C. CAC keeps a list of mobile phone numbers of staff to allow contact through cell phones when possible. D. CAC staff monitors web and radio broadcasts of developing emergencies during work hours. PREPAREDNESS After undergoing a disaster it is important to: A. Be able to evacuate to a safe area. a. Approved evacuation plans are in place for all facilities. b. Evacuation plans have been practiced monthly at all locations. 7/1/ / 13
3 B. Provide first aid to injured people. a. At least one staff person at each facility has had Red Cross first aid training. b. First aid kits are available at each site. C. Have communication to summon assistance for victims, know how the disaster is progressing and when there is resolution of the emergency. a. In addition to regular land lines personnel cell phones are present at all locations. While cell sites may not be available during an emergency, local efforts to repair the sites and land lines are a very high priority for all emergency services including phone companies, county resources and private companies. b. Multi-source powered AM/FM radios are present at each of our 41 sites to allow for receiving information about the progress of the disaster and the sources of needed resources. In all cases CAC staff is to follow directives of emergency personnel. D. Have resources for an extended stay-in-place plan. a. Each facility has a 3 day supply of water and food for an extended stay-in-place plan. b. Approved Earthquake kits are present at all sites and are regularly inventoried and maintained. E. Have transportation for injured people and to get additional resources. a. Personal vehicles are present at each location to allow for transportation of any injured people or to get additional resources, transport people home, etc. b. All locations are within walking distance of bus services which would allow for additional transportation services as needed. F. Maintain open relationships with local emergency, safety and planning groups to ensure CAC stays current with local plans and thinking about disasters. a. CAC maintains regular contact with safety groups meeting in the community that are cognizant of current conditions, risk factors and variables local to the Santa Barbara County area. This includes fire and safety engineers, city planners and local officials concerned with public safety. b. CAC receives regular electronic communications about safety concerns, current safety thinking and the newest approaches to public safety. Attached are the more detailed Policies and Procedures for Emergencies that have been in place since /1/ / 13
4 Subject: Emergencies and Disasters Effective Date: 9/01/01 Page: 1 Revised Date: Supersedes: Program Area: Health & Safety Policy Council Approval: 2001 Performance Objective: Staff will respond appropriately to a variety of emergency situations as they arise. Operational Procedure Emergencies fall into three categories, each requiring a different response: 1) A localized emergency that staff can handle with internal policies. 2) A moderate to severe emergency, which may require assistance from the fire department, police etc. examples are fire, server s earthquake with injuries, hazardous spill. 3) A major disaster where large amounts of mutual aid and assistance will be required, recovery time will be extensive and response will involve full local emergency authorities with possible delays. At the centers, the Site Supervisor, or designee, will assess the situation and implement the Center Emergency Plan and/or emergency response procedures as conditions warrant. This will include not opening a center that is found to be unsafe upon morning arrival. At office locations, the Program Manager or designee will do the same as above. If it is necessary to evacuate the site during an emergency, staff will follow the off site evacuation procedures. Staff and parents will follow the instructions of local emergency response personnel at all times that such personnel are involved. Phones and cell phones will be used to contact parents only when emergency authorities have placed no restrictions on phone use. Whenever possible, the Site Supervisor will contact the Program Manager regarding the emergency. If unable to contact the Program Manager, contact the Program Director. 7/1/ / 13
